In a goodwill message signed by the Kogi State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Fanwo, the governor praised Meseko’s legacy in the media industry, noting that he was among the fearless journalists of his generation who helped shape Nigerian journalism through balanced, courageous and people-oriented reporting before transitioning into active politics.

“As you attain the age of 60, I celebrate your impactful journey, your immense contributions to the media profession, and your unwavering service to our great party and the nation. Your life remains a source of inspiration to many younger Nigerians in politics and journalism,” the Governor stated.
